    The Broadway Melodies and other Hollywood Musicals

    Was The Broadway Melody the first all-talkie MGM musical film? I know I knew this information at one time, but my memory has become rusty :( I think the very first all-talkie musical ever made was On With The Show! (1929), which was also the first all-colour musical. The first all-talkie...

    The Broadway Melodies and other Hollywood Musicals

    This is a favourite topic of mine because I LOVE musicals from the 1930s, especially pre-Code. My favourite of The Broadway Melody series is the original from 1929. I love the snappy slang and the great songs. The 1936 installment is entertaining, but nothing I'd watch over and over. 1938...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I love everything about these except for that heel. The heel ruins it for me [huh]

    Vintage shopping in London.

    I'm a vintage 16, US 10, UK 14. I seem to remember all the dresses that I liked being just small enough to not fit properly. But who knows -- maybe you'll get lucky! Radio Days reminds me of a place in Philly called Pennyfeathers.

    Vintage shopping in London.

    I recommend Radio Days!! It was awesome. They were playing Mae West when I was in there. I didn't buy anything, though, because all the dresses I liked weren't my size :( But I considered buying something on my limited budget so they couldn't have been too expensive. And they have Clara...

    Anyone else tired of winter?!

    I love winter. I love the icy sting in the air (but not for too long!) Today it's snowing here. I love snow because it's so white and quiet. It brightens everything up. If it gets deep enough then there's NO WORK!! What could be bad about that? Another reason I love winter is that...

    Do you have a set beauty routine?

    Oh yea, I meant to ask: What exactly is "cold cream"?? What does it do? How do you use it? I know that the ladies in my old movies would put it on their faces, but, believe it or not, I never investigated it! I guess I never took the time to seek it out because I know that if I ever...

    Do you have a set beauty routine?

    Most of the time I say NO to those kiosk salespeople, but every once in a while, if I'm feeling plucky, I'll let them give me a hand massage and THEN tell them NO!! Soooo bad!!! I'm never rude, though! It's not my nature. But here's my beauty routine: -Shower with Dove Soap. Anything...

    Incongruencies of body art?

    I think we might be the same person! I've got a bit of 20s, 30s, 50s, 80s, and modern all mixed up in my style. No 40s, though, because the cuts of the clothes look horrid on me and I can't do any of the hairstyles. I'll wear my hair in a Marcel wave with a spitcurl on my forehead, thin 30s...

    Incongruencies of body art?

    Just be yourself! Wear what YOU like, even if it is a mix of vintage and modern. That's pretty much how I dress on a daily basis. Mixing and matching is fun! I couldn't imagine having a strict set of rules to dress by. *shudder* I'm more into the 20s and 30s when it comes to the way I...

    Incongruencies of body art?

    I've got tattoos on my chest, shouders and upper arms and I show those babies off! I happen to like the "old lady" look juxtaposed against an edgy "modern" look. I'm a big fan of clashing opposites!

    Colors for Redheads

    I'm a natural redhead, complete with orange "glow" (freckles that I hate). My Orange Glow, I feel, really limits me when it comes to dying my hair. If I go any lighter or any darker, I'm completely ORANGE. I hate it. I've had every hair colour of the rainbow at some point -- the worst was...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I don't know about others, but whenever I'm having an "off" day and don't feel like putting any effort into my appearance, I generally feel miserable and defeated while in that state. And if I just so happen to run out for milk or something and I see a well-dressed woman, I'll admit I get a bit...

    Can you help me date this item??

    That dress is pretty cool! I think it's now safe to say my dress dates from the late 50s or early 60s. The more I look at it, the more I can see it. Thanks gals!

    Can you help me date this item??

    WOW!! I'll admit I have no idea what the purpose of an RN# was. This is a whole new area for me. What do they mean? What was the 45 year span that they were used? And if my dress is from 1959, I was waaaaay off! But in the later 50s, the skirts started to get not-as-full so I can see now...

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thanks! For some reason I never noticed it!!

    Can you help me date this item??

    I had another look and there is an RN number on the tag. It's RN14148. There's also another number by itself: 2510.

    Can Anyone Put A Date To This Dress? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/Amy_Van_doren/oldschoolamy/L1000002.jpg Here's another photo -- much larger and clearer so you can see the detail better. I bought this in a thrift store in 2002 and was married in it in 2005 (above.) I've...

    Show us your hair do's....

    So CUTE! Did you get those in Wal-Mart?? I think I got mine there. Or maybe it was Michael's. I remember going out on a fake-flower-buying spree one night!

    Any one live near Wilmington Delaware

    Now I'm intrigued. I live near Wilmington, DE and I've never heard of this, but I do know that the old DuPont factories are still around the area! Now I'm going to investigate... I'll let you know what I find (if anything.)
